PATENT FFICE.

EDWARD MILNER, OF STRATHROY, CANADA.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 121,058, dated November 21, 1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD MILNER, of Strathroy, in the county of Middlesex and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bent Cutter-Bench and Knees; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan of a piece of timber as sawed preparatory to bending. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the bent cutter-bench and knees, and Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same.

Like letters indicate like parts in each figure.

The nature of this invention relates to an improved cutter-bench and knees, bent from a single piece of timber, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawing, A represents a strip of timber,

into each end of which the kerfs a are sawed, as

shown. The tongue or center piece A at ,each end, after steaming, is bent to the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, to form the knees, while the outer pieces A form a double bench or support for the rave of the cutter. This form of bench gives a broad and strong support to the sleighbody While presenting a light and graceful appearance. The double raveA supports weaken the rave less by reason of the small mortises required thau does a solid bench.

What I claim as luy-invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

rIhe bench A A and knees A when bent from a single piece of timber, as described. Y

. EDWARD MILNER.
